Mother 3 has finally resurfaced and will come out next spring. We can finally play it and see what was so special about it.http://gameboy.ign.com/articles/664/664899p1.html

Also those who have heard Pollyana should it become the theme song of the series.

Isnt this the game with ness in it from SSBM? Wasnt it called Earthbound in Japan or something? I have never played on any of the Mother series games cos they were never released in the UK and I am not sure if they were ever released in the US but I look forward to hearing about the game.

Yes, it's the series, at least. Ness starred in the one on the SNES. The series go by Mother in Japan, and Earthbound overseas.

This is good. I never got a chance to play any Earthbound game. I wonder if it was Starmen.net's Mother 3 petition that started this.

i highly doubt thell continue the eb series here, however if they do then this is a game that i will buy!!!!!!!

possible titles: earthbound advance or earthbound 2


i wonder if the plot will be like the one they said in 2003?

by the 2003 gba plot i mean: in 200x, pokey arrives, summoning a new entity in which a new boy, has to gather 8 earth stones and has 2 other boys and 2 other girls join him..

i highly doubt theyll stick with this or the n64 one: the main characters are 2 boys, in which a dog and a mid age guy join you.

i hope they revive the 2003 gba one, but hey, as long as it comes to the states- hell yeah!!!

This is nothing to be excited about. The original 2 were only released in Japan, why would they bother to translate the sequel now? Simple answer is, they wouldn't. Mother 3 is not going to come out anywhere, besides Japan.. unless they realise how popular it actually is, and FINALLY decide to translate the GBA ones.

P.S (and yeah, I know the original SNES one was released, but it's not worth taking into account here.)

The second game was the SNES one, aka Mother 2/EarthBound, and is thus obviously worth talking about. We've gotten half of the games in the series so far, and since we've gotten the second game, it's not a terrible chance that we'll get the third.

I'm aware of that. What I'm talking about is the GBA version of the games that were released in Japan years ago. The fact it was never translated and brought over to Western shores is bad news. Why would they bother doing the third one, if they didn't do the previous one?

How come the game was never released in Europe then. I heard that it is a pretty good game and I have never really heard anything much about it,the first I heard about it was on SSBM.

Well, becasue of SSB/SSBM, Ness and others (because of Trophies) have built up quite a fan base outside Japan. Considering this, I would be more surprised if Mother 3 was not released outside Japan. Also, since Animal Crossing got delayed for 4 YEARS (in Europe) Nintendo have always had the problem of not releasing games worldwide and then getting complaints from gamers, so I'd be very surprized if this game wasn't released outside of Japan.

AAHHHH!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!! I totally had Earthbound for the SNES, and I totally loved it (Those "totally"s are placed there on purpose). I really want them to release Mother 1 and 2 for the GBA in America, so I was already excited about that, but Mother 3?!!?!?!Question mark! I'm running and jumping around (in my mind)! I always loved spring, but now...!
*Dies of anticipation*

I've never played any of these games. I didn't even know who Ness was until I played Super Smash Bros. What type of games are these and what is the main objectives?

I don't feel like looking up and reading a long article when someone who is a veteran player of these games can tell me what they are about in a short summary.

All I know is that they're RPGs that are different compared to Final Fantasy and the like. Such as Bats as weapons and hippies as enemies. From what I can tell in the screenshots, the you never see the characters but only the enemies. You don't see them attack either I think.

Earthbound...

Well, to answer your question, Scott, the main design is similar to Dragon Quest (which Shigesato Itoi [Series Creator] played in his childhood), but instead of a medieval setting, it's set in modern times, where a young boy who has psychic powers has to defeat a space alien who looks like an embodiment of death. In his quest, he meets a psychic girl, a scientific boy genius and a martial artist from the East.

Things tha make this RPG rock more than others?
-It's got FOOD!
-The battle scenario is psychodelic. Woo, look at the pretty colors!
-I think this is the first game where a mosquito makes you a hero.
-There are dozens of Beatles references.
-You can name your favorite thing. And your food. And your dog.
-The final boss has got one of the most unorthodox ways of defeat. Seriously. I won't spoil but it's interesting.
-Your main objective is to collect songs.
-There are Mr. Saturns.

So, you should look for it, as either the game itself or a ROM. Not telling where, though.
